I'm getting a timeout when trying to execute the following:
apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF

(The key for the mono repository) http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#deb...

Any help would be appreciated.

   I resolved the issue. I had to let port Port 11371 through my firewall.

   Sorry for the lack of thoroughness prior to posting an issue.

   Hi,

   I really appreciate your timely response, but, I solved it using your
   prescribed method:
   I found a thread that provided me with the solution:
   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1101366

   The issue was the port: 11371

   As soon as I added a rule to my firewall, the call worked without error.

   Regards,
